Wu Hen Eliminates the Three Evils

The medicine warehouse was located at the foot of the mountain in a shaded spot.

Wu Hen had specifically instructed the female Order Maintenance Personnel to guard the medicine warehouse, where two squads were already standing guard with firearms.

However, the entire campus remained in chaos. Especially after learning that there were monsters among the students that had been parasitized, the Order Maintenance Personnel found it even more difficult to maintain control.

Wu Hen headed toward the gymnasium.

The most urgent task was to find those Insect-Eyed Half-Humans lurking on campus.

At a time like this, he had no choice but to find someone.

"Yang Qin!"

After entering the gymnasium, Wu Hen quickly spotted Yang Qin.

When Yang Qin saw Wu Hen appear, tears were on the verge of falling from her eyes in excitement.

Just a moment ago, a white Insect-Eyed Half-Human had attacked the Order Maintenance Personnel near the gymnasium. The personnel had suffered heavy casualties, and it had taken an unknown amount of ammunition to finally kill that Insect-Eyed Half-Human.

"I know you really want to cry, but hold it in for now. Did you collect the list?" Wu Hen asked.

"Yes, yes. There are three people in total who woke up earlier than me..."

"Only three?" Wu Hen's tone was slightly disappointed.

Only three bowls of rice—he was afraid that wouldn't be enough to satisfy Xiao Yi's gluttonous soul!

"There is Director Tang who is in charge of the cafeteria, Zhou Linghong, a student who works part-time at the serving counter, and Auntie Miao who does the cleaning... They are all in the cafeteria right now," Yang Qin said.

"Is that so?" Wu Hen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

They were all in the cafeteria? Could this mean these Insect-Eyed Half-Humans might have other ways to make the larvae occupy their hosts faster?

Moreover, why specifically choose to parasitize those who worked in the cafeteria? Could it be that they wanted to poison the food?

Thinking about this massive campus, if the food were contaminated, he feared that thousands of people would struggle to survive in such harsh weather. As expected, these Insect-Eyed Parasitic Fungi had only one goal in coming to the human homeland: to exterminate humanity!

"You few go to the medicine warehouse first and keep watch. If anything happens, notify me immediately. I'm going to take care of those three idiots in the cafeteria," Wu Hen said.

His younger sister, Yu Yu, heard that she was going to be separated from her brother and immediately shook her head, indicating that she had to follow him no matter what.

Wu Hen saw that Yu Yu was also carrying that pink Compound Bow this time. Recalling her precise and dashing skull-piercing arrows, he nodded.

That works too. You be Jialuo, I'll be Braum; two against three isn't impossible!

"In that case, we'll split into two groups. Yang Qin, Yang Rui, you two go squat at the medicine warehouse. If you notice anything wrong, inform us immediately," Wu Hen said.

Yang Qin looked reluctant; he also wanted to follow the big brother.

But Yu Yu was the legitimate one, and he had no right to be pretentious.

Splitting up, Wu Hen quickly arrived at the location of the cafeteria.

Most of the people gathered here were teachers and campus staff. In such dire, disaster-stricken conditions, the cafeteria was a critical area; its safe operation had to be guaranteed.

However, at this moment, the cafeteria was terrifyingly quiet. Wu Hen was certain there were people inside, but he couldn't hear any specific movements.

"On the second floor," Yu Yu signaled to Wu Hen with a gesture.

"Your nose is as sharp as a dog's." Wu Hen affectionately scratched Yu Yu's delicate little chin. The next second, another complaint escaped him: "Biting people doesn't make you a good girl."

The sky had turned completely dark.

The second floor of the cafeteria was even dimmer, with only solar-powered night lights providing a faint source of illumination for the dining hall.

Inside, there was a smell of mixed food. Wu Hen looked toward the kitchen at the back of the second floor and saw a plump man wearing a grease-stained chef's uniform, stir-frying some delicious-looking dish over a high flame...

The moment the flames leaped up from the stove, the light illuminated his face, which was covered in rolls of fat. What made one's hair stand on end was that the skin on his face was falling off like worms, even dropping into the iron wok he was stir-frying in!

On the other side, an older woman was holding down a live chicken, cutting its throat and letting the blood flow onto the cutting board. What was even more absurd was that she was wiping the sweat from her forehead with her hand—the problem was that both of her hands were clearly busy working!

At the food cabinet, a girl wearing an apron was scooping food onto a tray, one spoonful at a time. But as soon as she finished filling the plate, she opened her mouth—which was larger than her head—and swallowed the food and the tray together into her stomach. The tray even left a visible shape in her throat and esophagus, but once it entered her stomach, it seemed to be digested immediately, leaving no bulge!

This scene was truly insane.

Fortunately, the three of them had one thing in common: there were white larvae swimming in their eye sockets. Even though they were parasitic monsters, they still retained a trace of their original human habits.

"Brother, after you were trapped, I looked up some information. There was a food contamination issue before that caused many people to have stomach problems. After that, the authorities mandated that all ingredients undergo a cleaning process, and this washing water would be infused with a common Chinese herbal medicine..." Yu Yu told Wu Hen.

Her words immediately made Wu Hen think of their homeroom teacher, Old Wang; he had been a victim of that food safety incident.

"You mean the real purpose of them destroying the Medicine Warehouse was to get rid of this Chinese herbal medicine that gets added to the ingredients?" Wu Hen said.

"Yes, I suspect this herbal medicine kills the larvae lurking in the human body, hindering the spread of their parasitic army," Yu Yu suggested.

"That makes sense. You're amazing, my little Yu Yu. Brother really adores you!" Wu Hen didn't hold back, pecking her on the cheek.

Yu Yu angrily wiped off his stinky saliva and glared at him. Why didn't he say "I feel the same way" this time?

"We must cut these three down. Food safety is paramount; there is no way I'm letting the children eat unclean food again!" Wu Hen strode toward the kitchen. Forget the overalls or the white shirt; today, he was wearing the jacket of the light of righteousness!

Seeing Wu Hen move forward, Yu Yu immediately found a spot to hide that offered an excellent line of sight.

Taking a deep breath, Yu Yu could clearly smell the rotten stench exhaled from the nasal cavities of those three. Don't look at how they were still working hard; their bodies were likely already crawling with maggots. They were no longer human!

"White, white, white..."

Since none of them had evolved into the silver variety, their combat power was inferior even to his rotten old classmate, Zhou Guang.

Xiao Yi was on Wu Hen's right hand, like a fledgling eagle waiting to be fed, excitedly poking its phantom head out. It had been quite satisfied with the silver Insect-Eyed Half-Human from earlier, and now that three more high-protein snacks had arrived, it was pure bliss!

Because it had received such a great supplement, the speed at which Xiao Yi manifested weapons was faster, and the material was clearly different from before.

With a shield on his right hand and a sting on his left, Wu Hen no longer needed to keep his distance from these White Obsidian Cold Stings; he went straight into melee combat.

And he was taking on three at once!

His reaction speed, full-body coordination, and muscular strength had all reached about three times that of an ordinary person. He was completely different from the small fry who used to tuck his tail and run the moment he encountered a bizarre creature.

The White Obsidian Cold Sting was imbued with the power of lightning. When Wu Hen thrust the blade into the chef's chest, the electric force rapidly spread through its body, electrocuting all the fungal insects controlling its muscles!

Once the fungal insects inside an Insect-Eyed Half-Human died too quickly, they struggled to manifest effective fungal defenses, and the body would often freeze in place, unable to move.

"Whoosh!"

At that moment, a metal arrow flew from the other end of the cafeteria, grazing Wu Hen's scalp and pinning itself firmly into the eye socket of an Insect-Eyed Half-Human!

"Whoosh!!"

A second arrow followed closely behind. Having gained experience, the young girl Jialuo knew that the white larvae would attempt emergency evasive maneuvers and hide in the other eye socket, so both targets had to be pierced!

"Sizzle~"

The Insect-Eyed Half-Human didn't actually have bones. The white larvae were both pierced through the back of the head and devoured in one bite by the phantom manifested on Wu Hen's right hand!

These three White Obsidian Cold Stings didn't put much pressure on Wu Hen.

After coordinating perfectly with the archer, the brother and sister duo also easily wiped out the Parasitic Auntie and the Parasitic Part-timer.

As for the Gluttonous Dragon on Wu Hen's right hand, it took a big chunk of fat with every bite, not forgetting to lick its lips afterward.

"Slurp~"

Delicious!

Having eaten three bowls in a row, Xiao Yi was very happy.

It even had a bold idea: to let the entire city be parasitized by the Insect-Eyed, and then strike down with a single sword. The screen would be filled with high-protein snacks—it would be both a permanent solution to the threat and a gluttonous feast!

Hmm, that was thinking too small. Actually, it could also wait until all of humanity was...

Wu Hen and Xiao Yi had formed a symbiosis. Upon catching this outrageous thought from Xiao Yi, Wu Hen sternly condemned it!

If he waited until all of humanity was parasitized before taking action, the grass on his and his family's graves would already be two meters tall.

It's like asking your immune system: Why do I have a high fever?

Immune system: There is a virus in your body, and high temperatures can kill it.

Me: But at high temperatures, I'll die too.

Immune system: I admit I'm taking a gamble, but today, either you or the virus has to die!

"Hmm, my strength has improved visibly. If I were to encounter Fengyun Youcun now, I should have a fighting chance." Wu Hen was very satisfied with his current state.

Someone like Fengyun Youcun, who could turn invisible, use shadow-step, and possessed powerful hearing, was definitely stronger than Midnight Mass and the white Insect-Eyed Half-Human.

As for someone like Meiqing Xiuxiu, who could create Head-Severing Demons, she was likely on the same level as the Pupil Worm Mother Tree.

To be honest, if it weren't for the descent of the Holy Father, he would never have been able to kill her.

Take it slow. He had plenty of room for growth. One day, he wouldn't need to call upon the Holy Father to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Zai Wu...

"Brother, now that my sense of smell has awakened, my archery has gotten stronger too." Yu Yu walked over quickly and leaned in toward Wu Hen, waiting for some praise.

"I had them pinned down; if you still missed a stationary target, that would be something. And those few arrows that grazed their scalps—I think you were mixing in some personal grievances!" Wu Hen didn't give Yu Yu a chance to be proud, pinching her little nose.

Yu Yu was unhappy...

"By the way, you didn't have any aftereffects from piercing through people this time?" Wu Hen was actually quite surprised.

His sister's mental fortitude was so strong; she didn't even gag after piercing through someone's head this time. Could it be that some strange gene in her body had been activated???

"I can smell that their whole bodies have already been infested by worms... They aren't human anymore." Yu Yu explained.

Knowing that their shells were full of rotting worms, Yu Yu didn't have such a heavy psychological burden; she even felt a sense of bodhisattva-like compassion, as if she were delivering them from their suffering.

Suddenly, Yu Yu's little nose twitched. An extremely pungent odor seeped out from a door in the back kitchen, making her unable to help but pinch her nose.

"Brother, it smells really, really bad in there." Yu Yu pointed her finger toward the ingredient storage room deeper in the back kitchen.
